Basicity increases in Group 1 (alkali metals) due to the increasing atomic size and decreasing ionization energy as you move down the group. Larger atomic radii result in a weaker hold on the outermost electron, making it easier for these elements to lose that electron and form hydroxides. Consequently, the resulting hydroxides become more soluble and stronger bases as you go down the group, leading to increased basicity.
What else can I help you with?
Why basicity increase down the group?
It is about metals. Metal properties are increasing.
How do you calculate basicity?
Basicity of a compound is usually determined by counting the number of basic sites (nitrogen or oxygen atoms capable of accepting a proton) present in the molecule. For amines, the basicity increases with the number of alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. For acids, basicity is based on the ionizable hydrogen atoms present. pKa values represent the acidity of the compound, inversely related to basicity.
Is Strontium oxide acidic or basic?
Strongly basic.As the size of 2+ cations increase down the alkaline group basicity increases.
Does group 1 element become less metallic as atomic number increases?
No, group 1 elements become more metallic as atomic number increases. This is because as you move down the group, the number of electron shells increases, leading to greater shielding of the valence electrons and a decrease in effective nuclear charge, which promotes metallic behavior.
How does the numbers of electrons change across a period of elements?
The number of valence electrons for the elements increases across a period, from 1 (group 1) to 8 (group 18).
Effect of basicity on bf slag fluidity?
if basicity increases,fluidity decreases
Is the BYU online General Chemistry Part 2 a difficult course?
The basicity of main group metal oxides increases on decending a group of periodic table though the reverse trend is observed in the transition metal oxides why?

What is the basicity of sulphuric acid?
I think , the basicity of sulphuric acid is 1.
Is Strontium oxide acidic or basic?
Strongly basic.As the size of 2+ cations increase down the alkaline group basicity increases.
How do you find the basicity of oxalic acid?
COOH COO- l l COOH --------- COO- + 2H+.So oxalic acid is monoprotic acid its basidity is 2.
What is the basicity of HCL?
HCl is an acid, so it does not possess basicity but rather acidity. Its basicity is 0.
What happens to the reactivity as you move down group 1 in the periodic table?
Reactivity in group 1 of elements increases as we go down the group (to francium) because in the alkali metals as we go down the group number of atomic shells increases so the elements with most shells will easily release their electrons in the outer most shell.
What is the basicity of nitric acid?
Nitric acid is a strong acid, so it does not exhibit basicity. Instead, it is an acidic compound that can donate a proton (H+) in solution.
Which amino acid has an imidazole group?
Histidine is the amino acid that has an imidazole group in its side chain. This group can act as a proton donor or acceptor in biochemical reactions due to its basicity.
What are the acidity and basicity trends of the periodic table?
The acidity and basicity trends on the periodic table are primarily based on the atomic size and electronegativity of elements. Generally, as you move from left to right across a period, elements become more acidic due to increasing electronegativity pulling electron density towards the nucleus, making it easier to donate a proton. Conversely, as you move down a group, elements become more basic due to larger atomic size and higher electron shielding, allowing for easier acceptance of a proton. However, there are exceptions to these trends based on specific chemical properties and bonding characteristics of elements.
